Did you ever go to camp and try to sleep in a bunk with bedding that was made for someone half your size? Isaiah used this picture to represent our best-laid plans. Our plans never reach far enough; they are insufficient. We pay close attention to our selfish interests and forget about the will of God.
In addition, our schemes are often insecure. We try to plan for ever possible problem, but inevitably fail to cover all of the angles. Jesus told a parable about a house built on sand that looked so grand when the sun was shining. But after the first heavy storm it was washed away. Let's learn to wrap our plans in the secure arms of the Almighty God who is able to completely cover us with his protection and security.
